You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 An Upsetting Surprise

Bai Rong boarded the train back to A City and looked out the window.

It was a sunny day. A profusion of exotic flowers could be seen on the vast field by the track.

Bai Rong’s lips curved upwards, forming a faint smile.

Su Xuyan, who couldn’t move his eyes away from her, couldn’t help but responded with a similar smile when he caught her response.

It was a blissful moment.

If I was aware of the affection I had for her back in the day, we would be living a happy life by one another’s side. Perhaps we were a happy family of four by now.

As he lost himself in a process of thought, he reached over and held her hand.

Bai Rong returned to her usual indifferent self and looked at him, asking in a callous tone, “What’s wrong?”

“Are you hungry? Shall we go grab something to eat in the eatery? I’m afraid you’re going to starve yourself again.” Su Xuyan brought her up from the seat.

When she heard him, she noticed she was a tad bit hungry. Therefore, she followed him and made their way to the eatery on the train.

Su Xuyan bought two prepacked lunch boxes and two bottles of coke to go along with their meal.

Once he returned and placed those in front of Bai Rong, she unpacked the meal and started savoring the food.

“Are you going to return to the research institute?” he asked nonchalantly.

“Mmm…” Bai Rong recalled she had many cases to sort out. She wouldn’t get to leave until she resolved the cases assigned to her by Mu Xiaosheng.

“I’ll get myself a nearby villa for your convenience! You don’t have to go through the hassle of traveling long distances anymore!”

Cough! Cough!

Su Xuyan opened a bottle of coke and handed it over to Bai Rong because she accidentally choked.

She took it over and gulped a few mouthfuls.

Is it a man’s things? Why can’t they stop buying villas for their crush? Gu Mingchen offered to buy one, and now Su Xuyan is going to buy another one?

She tried to turn him down by stating her preferences. “Actually, I prefer staying in the hotel.”

The confused Su Xuyan suggested, “Why? If that’s your preference, I can renovate the entire place based on the hotel’s renovation! You can tell me the things you need, and I’ll get it for you!”

“I enjoy the complimentary services that are exclusive to a hotel. I can get someone to tend to my needs whenever I need them. Besides—” Bai Rong paused and looked at Su Xuyan in the eyes before going on. “I don’t feel lonely when I’m staying in a hotel.”

“I won’t leave you alone anymore! I’ll always keep you company! It’s a promise!” Su Xuyan replied with a sincere look.

“I can’t stop you from buying, can I? You should do your best in renovating the place.”

She beamed at her agreement because it would take him at least half a year to get everything ready.

The man grinned in return because she had given her consent. “I’ll hire a butler, a chef, a few housemaids to tend to your needs! You’ll definitely have a better time at home than at the hotel!”

She continued savoring her meal and avoided his gaze.

They departed back to A City at six forty in the evening. Two hours ago, Bai Rong had gotten in touch with Liu Yan through a phone call.

After walking out of the train station, Liu Yan waved at Bai Rong and beckoned her friend over.

Bai Rong approached her friend and said, “I’ll be spending a night at your place tonight. You’re not going to turn me down, are you?”

“You’re always welcomed. I mean, do I even get to say no?” Liu Yan stared at Su Xuyan.

Su Xuyan looked at Bai Rong and said, “I guess it’s time for us to say goodbye, huh? Rong, please have plenty of rest. I’ll get in touch with you tomorrow.”

Bai Rong nodded and boarded Liu Yan’s car, taking over the driver’s seat.
